If they are coming to Atlanta it would be to play a neutral site vs a marquee team in the Benz. Michigan isn’t giving up a home game to travel to BDS.
They would play us in the Benz in a heartbeat. Not sure what you mean by "vs a marquee team". Michigan would salivate to play GT at the Benz - you think they'd rather play the dwags or bama and get their ass kicked?

Yea. They’d rather play a good program in a neutral site game because it will carry a big paycheck.

When GT plays in the CFA game we are the undercard, and also essentially trading in a home game to get there (which means the $$ aren’t as good for the visitor).

Michigan isn’t coming down to play GT in the Benz when we are the home team and control the tickets/atmosphere/etc. they would come down to play a Bama/UGA/Florida whoever for a true neutral site game and split the revenue.

That’s really sad.
